"We have been driving over an hour (one-way) to Nocturnal at least once a month since the moment they opened their doors, and to us, it feels less like a drive and more like a pilgrimage. This place is sacred to us and is deeply, dearly, and irrevocably loved. ✨️ We’ve chased “the best coffee” all over the Midwest on road trips, and I can say this without hesitation: nothing else even exists in the same realm. Nocturnal stands alone. Their drinks are not just coffee, they’re magic. I'm talking mug-sized works of art, crafted with care, intention, and so much heart. 🖤 Their house-made syrups are fresh, thoughtfully made with real ingredients, often (if not always) gluten free, and you can taste the care in every sip. The seasonal menu drinks are dreamy: limited, imaginative, beautifully balanced, and always a little mysterious. Blink and you’ll miss them, but that just makes them more special. The creativity here is unmatched. The whimsy... the goth vibes! The themed menus and events that you can't wait for. Every visit feels special, like stepping into a hazy, warm, dream where coffee reigns supreme. Truthfully, their drinks outright sparkle. Dare I say… this is the drink of a killer, Bella. 🤍✨ And the music is always on point. Emo, pop punk, and perfectly curated in a way that makes it abundantly clear that a certain owner was absolutely a regular scene queen back in the day, and of course I mean that as the highest compliment. 🫡It feels like sipping something bewitched while the soundtrack to your Midwest emo coming-of-age plays softly in the background. If you know, you know. Every barista here is an absolute doll. Warm, kind, welcoming, and genuinely lovely humans who make you feel instantly at home. The owners are just as darling, and knowing this is a family-run operation makes it all the more special. You truly can feel how much love and painstaking effort has been poured into every detail. The care dedicated to restoring this building and turning it into the enchanted space it is now is palpable. Candlelit, cozy, intentional, and alive. Nocturnal feels like home for the nocturnally inclined, for the soft goths, the elder emos, even the sparkly vampires. For anyone who ever knew that I’m not okay was a whole personality, that it was never just a phase, and found comfort in places that feel exactly like this one. Without Nocturnal, we'd be miserable at best. ☔️ We genuinely cannot imagine life without this place. Always worth the drive. Always unmatched. Forever under its spell. 🖤☕🦇✨"

"Great vibe and plenty of seating. The cookies were really good, and I liked how everything was presented. The coffee though wasn’t my favorite. We ordered the churro themed latte from their seasonal fall menu. I think the coffee blend itself is good—I usually love a strong coffee—but I wasn’t a fan of the flavor. I’d definitely come back and give their coffee another try, and if anything, the cookies alone are absolutely worth a repeat visit."

"I love coming to Nocturnal every week. The decor is beautiful, the staff are extremely friendly, and their menu items are so good! I stopped going to Starbucks so that I could come here more. I love that they support other small businesses as well. I love hearing my emo throwback songs when I walk in! I love that they are so kid friendly too. A must stop if you're in Monroe! I have told everyone about this place!"

"My daughters & I went here this Wednesday. It was super cute and the atmosphere was really cool! The staff was super friendly and our coffee and baked goods were delicious!"

"Our 1st experience was during Halloween. We loved it. Stopped in during Christmas and experienced Harry Potter themed coffee and cookies. Loved it so much. We are from Ohio but had to make a trip back to bring our son to check out the Harry Potter experience. He loved it. Can't wait to see what's next."
